C was originally created as a "high-level" language, being more abstract (aka high-level) than the other languages at the time. But now it's basically considered very slightly more abstract than machine code when compared to the much higher level high-level languages we have today.

I am still interested to know the details of how they came to this decision. Why Signal instead of Matrix.

AFAIK, signal doesn't federate, There is no "signal server-to-server" protocol. When people say "The Signal Protocol", they are talking about a cryptographic protocol, not a network protocol.

As for why they wouldn't use Matrix, I would assume it's just too heavy of a protocol for the scale they operate at. IIRC, Matrix isn't just a chat protocol. It's a multi-peer cryptographic state synchronization protocol. Chat is (was?) just the first "easy" application they were going to apply it to. (Now I'm curious if they still have plans for that at some point.) They've been making great strides in improving the efficiency, at least in the client-server API (I haven't been paying attention to the server-server API at all), but it's still going to be a heck of a lot more compute heavy than whatever custom API they're providing.

Good luck!

I've never been an SRE nor had to deal with super demanding giant corporate customers, but that seems exceptionally insane.

Serious suggestion: would the terms of your SLA allow you automate those emails to customers? Then you'd only have to actually deal with replies from customers. (Who I assume aren't replying in the middle of the night.)

Anyone know if there is an explanation for how they determined the "meets goal"/"doesn't meet goal" the "Comparison of options" slide from the plan link?

I don't understand how the transit option "doesn't meet" the transit goal, but the car option does. Also, why the cars option is ranked better for the bicycle and pedestrian goals. That doesn't make any sense to me.

Also, Half-Life 3 confirmed?

Interesting, I swear I've done exactly this before and didn't have DHCP troubles, but that was like a decade ago, so I might be misremembering.

You'll want to bridge your WiFi and Ethernet interfaces. As always the Arch Wiki has instructions for setting up a bridge interface, there's multiple options depending on how you have your network setup on your system: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/network_bridge

Tell them if you have to go back to the office, you quit.

Nah, never say "or I'll quit", you just say you won't go to an office. End of statement. You don't make any sort of threat or give them an ultimatum, just set your boundaries. Make them fire you, if you're valuable and/or well liked odd are they won't and you just get to keep working remote.

IMO, the best free option is https://freedns.afraid.org/. The biggest downside of that one is that you have to login a couple times a year (IIRC?) to keep it active. I actually still use this even though I have a paid domain, I just CNAME my real domains to the afraid dynamic name. That was easier than changing the config every time I become unhappy with my domain registrar and have to reconfigure everything after swapping.

We tried that in the 90s, it went poorly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans_fat#History

You're not mistaken, it is definitely possible with at least RSA, though, I would guess it may not always be possible. It also sounds like it's still a bad idea unless you know all of the parameters used to generate the keys and can be sure what information is actually encoded in the keys.

That doesn't mean the issue wasn't/won't be escalated. It might even mean it's more likely since someone bothered to make a response macro for it, they presumably got more than one or two emails about it. So it's probably more likely to make it on a "list of issues we saw this week/sprint/month/quarter".

As others have said, it's quite good on privacy. For the truly paranoid, IIRC you can even self-host the sync server.

From the security perspective of privacy, do make sure to use a good password for the Mozilla account, the account password is also the encryption key for the E2E encryption.

Oof, that's rough. I really hope they're able to recover. I Am Fish is my all time favorite game, I really hope they survive to make an 'I Am Gull' (or w/e).

(P.S. to a mod: English seems to be blocked as a language on this community.)

are you able to use the bluetooth functionality on Linux then?

Yep. Well, I've technically only tested it on SteamDeck, but it works out of the box there, so I'm fairly confident it'd work on other distros too.
